Mexican Tourism Market Grew by Almost One Hundred Percent  

For decades, Belizeans have supported Mexico’s tourism industry through frequent trips across the border. As Belize’s economy is heavily reliant on tourism, the government has been discussing ways to promote Mexicans to return the favor. Minister of Tourism, Anthony Mahler spoke with us about the efforts to introduce Mexican tourist to Belize.

“We’ve had the Mexican market and We’ve been in our cross for some time now. And we can tell you that just for the first half of this year, the Mexican market grew by, I think about 100 percent almost and somewhere around there, and we believe that we can garner bigger part of that market. As we continue to put more initiatives towards marketing in Mexico.  We’re also working on a direct flight out of Mexico still.  And we believe that there are opportunities there just like other parts of South America.  We believe strongly that we can grow the markets there in those areas.”
